The Best Wedding Flowers For You
June 1st, 2006 Posted in Wedding Planning and Ideas
Many brides know what flowers they want to use fomr the beginning. Whether it is a favorite flower or an idea you have seen and loved, choosing you wedding flowers sometimes comes easily.
However, remember there is more decisions than just the type of flower to use.
When choosing your wedding bouquet there are many things to consider. You will want to factor in the size and weight you are comfortable carrying. Your bouquet will be attached to you for a good portion of the day so be comfortable with what you are carrying.
You will also want to think about your dress. Different bouquet styles and sizes work better with certain types of dresses. These are things to ask your florist, coordinator, or even the place where you purchase your gown.
For example, here is a little wedding flower tip for brides wearing an A-line dress.
Since your dress is textured, your flowers should be, too. Choose blooms with layered petals like roses, peonies, and ranunculus. For a gown in a smooth fabric such as silk-mikado or satin, more graphic flowers like orchids, amaryllis, and tulips are pretty options.
For decisions like this one, it is good to keep your wedding binder stocked. Have pictures of your dress, flower ideas, ceremony location and so on with you when you meet with your florist. Together you will be able to find the perfect bridal bouquet for your big day.
